一天,兔先生正在小山附近溜达,忽然听到有人在呼喊:“救命啊!救命啊!”他这边看看,那边望望,终于发现了可怜的狼先生。他被压在一块大石头的底下,爬不起来了。狼先生恳求道:“兔先生,请快把这块石头搬开,我快被压死了。” 兔先生费尽全力把大石头从他身上搬开了。然后,狼先生猛地跳起来,一口咬住兔子先生。 “如果你要杀我,”兔先生喊道,“我这辈子再也不会帮你了。’, “你活不成了,”狼说,“因为我现在就要把你吃掉。” “任何一个好人都不会杀自己的救命恩人,”兔先生说,“这太不公平了。你去问问鸭太太。她很胖,万事精通,她肯定会说,任何一个好人都不会干出这种事情来。” ‘‘我要去问问她,”狼先生说:“如果她讲的不和我意,我也要把她吃掉。” 于是,狼先生和兔先生就一起去见鸭太太。狼先生说:“兔先生坐在山坡附近时,我抓住了他,所以,我应当吃掉他。说说你的看法吧。” 兔先生说道:“我把一块大石头从他的背上搬走,救了他的命,因此,他不应该吃我。你给评评理吧。” “什么样的石头?”鸭太太说。 “在山坡附近的一块大石头。”兔先生答道。 “我得去看看这块石头,”鸭太太说,“要是我连那块石头都没见过,我怎么发表自己的意见呢?” 于是,狼先生、兔先和鸭太太一起去看那块石头。“现在,把石头按原样放好。”鸭太太说。 于是,狼先生和兔先住把石头搬回了原处。 “不对吧,”鸭太太说,“那不是原来的样子。你不是说石头是狼先生的背上吗?” 于是,他们又把石头放到狼先生的背上。 “好了,你都看到了,石头原来就是这个样子的。你怎么说?’’狼先生问道。 兔生和鸭太太齐声说道:“我们说,我们要回家了,你请别人帮你搬开这块石头吧。 Mr. Rabbit and Mr. Wolf One day Mr. Rabbit was walking near the hill when heard someone crying out,“Help!

You ask Mrs. Duck. She is very fat and she knows everything. She will say that no rice person would do a thing like that.,’ “I will ask her,” said Mr. Wolf,“and if she does not say what I want,I shall eat her,too. ” So Mr. Wolf and Mr. Rabbit went to Mrs. Duck. “Mrs. Duck said, “I caught Mr. Rabbit when he was sitting down near the hill. So I said that I should eat him. Now say what you think. ” “I took a great big stone from his back,” said Mr. Rabbit, “So I said that he should not eat me,because I helped him. Now say what you think. 99 “What stone?” said Mrs. Duck. “A stone near the hill. ” said Mr. Rabbit. “I must see it,” said Mrs. Duck. “How can I say what I think if I have not seen the stone?” So Mr. Wolf and Mr. Rabbit and Mrs. Duck went to see the stone. “Now,put the stone just as it was. ” said Mrs. Duck. So they put the stone back where it was. “No,” said Mrs. Duck, “that is not just as it was.
